Album Rating: 3.5

2009 has been too good when you have to ask yourself if a 4 album belongs in your top 20 or not.



Not for metal, that's for sure.



Album is growing on me alot. Really liking this more and more with each listen.

The bold indicates failure ; ). This has been a clunker year in the sense that alot of the albums that were released sound awesome at first and become boring quickly; nothing long lasting in my mind. I still need to hear that Katatonia album.

nah wizard amorphis and porc tree did suck

anaal nathrakh was good though must say.

collapse was great, not as good as s/t though

i cant compare the new ulcerate with the new panopticon because theyre diff genres

Album Rating: 3.0

Come to think of it, most of my metal is pre-2009. Huh, I suppose you're right.

ulcerate, panopticon, shining, portal, converge, funebrarum, sun of the blind
prob more but cant be bothered to think

oh yeah stench of decays demo was cunt rippingly good

didnt bother with that

as far as metal in 2009 goes I believe Amorphis, Converge, BTBAM, The Red Chord, Giant Squid, Blackguard, Augury and Behemot can have a place in the top 20.

In addition to whatever other people have, I think Behemoth deserves a nod this year. Evangelion was one "ov" their better albums. Also, the new Megadave... er... Megadeth.

new amorphis was boring as hell. This, Panopticon, Red Chord and Converge are the top 4 for me atm with Anaal Nathrakh, Behemoth, Mastodon, Shining and Sun of the Blind being up there as well although i still need to listen to Ulcerate, Katanonia and funebrarum.

Album Rating: 4.5

You, sir are a souless man for stating that about Amorphis. And yeah, I forgot Katatonia; haven't rated it yet but so far it's a very solid 4.5.

Hey, Silent Waters was excellent but skyforger just bored the crap out of me, sorry. I will be getting on to ulcerate and katatonia soon but atm i have a shit load of work for uni :/

So can we not use this review to discuss the best of 2009? Use the forums.

So Coke, considering my opinions on Colors, would I like this better?
